 Friday

Happy Birthday Jaren!!!!  He turns 11 today.  He spent the day playing and we went to the Gladstone, now it's called, Cultural Festival (they changed the name - it used to be Chautauqua Festival).  Jaren got an MP3 player (now he'll quit stealing mine) and a new bike among other things.  

Day 55

 Thursday

Here are Jaron, Jaren and Jaren at the pack meet tonight.  Jaren G (that's my Jaren) received his Arrow of Light Badge.  He's now moving on to Boy Scouts.  

We also spent the day at Multnomah Falls with the Kenners (and Jaron).  I wanted to spend time with them before they headed back to Alaska and I wanted to take my children to the falls.  Most of them hadn't been there before.

Day 54

 Wednesday

A lady gave me 9 or so gallons of plums from her tree.  Jadon and Jude thought the plums were balls and they threw them everywhere.  Off the deck, at Grandma's car, in the street, in the grass, bushes and on the sidewalk.

 Tuesday

I backed into the house with my van.  Now I have even dents - one on each side.  Apparently the previous owners too backed into something.   Can you even see the dent?  

Day 52

 Monday

I should have known not to leave my blue nail polish on the bathroom counter.  Some little guy got into it and painted his fingertips blue.  The little guy's initials are JB.

 Sunday

This is the camera Jenevieve dropped one too many times that quit on me.  I really liked that camera.
